Package: lm-sensors Version: 1:2.9.0-12 Severity: minor This is basically a followup to #266227. Before sensors-detect is run, /etc/init.d/start outputs
Setting sensors limits:Can't access procfs/sysfs file Unable to find i2c bus information; For 2.6 kernels, make sure you have mounted sysfs and done 'modprobe i2c_sensor'! For older kernels, make sure you have done 'modprobe i2c-proc'! Can't access procfs/sysfs file Unable to find i2c bus information; For 2.6 kernels, make sure you have mounted sysfs and done 'modprobe i2c_sensor'! For older kernels, make sure you have done 'modprobe i2c-proc'! done. The good thing about this is that it gives good indication to fix the problem. The bad thing is that it may be confusing why this happens (by default) each boot, and "Can't access procfs/sysfs file" could be misinterpreted. I don't know exactly what it means, but it seems to say that one specific file (which one?) in procfs or/and sysfs is not accessible. This is not what initscripts's maintainer interpreted, for example. sysfs and procfs are mounted here but I still get that before modprobe i2c_sensor. # mount /dev/hda3 on / type ext3 (rw,errors=remount-ro) proc on /proc type proc (rw) sysfs on /sys type sysfs (rw) devpts on /dev/pts type devpts (rw,gid=5,mode=620) tmpfs on /dev/shm type tmpfs (rw) /dev/hda7 on /home type ext3 (rw) /dev/hda5 on /win type vfat (rw) usbfs on /proc/bus/usb type usbfs (rw) /dev on /.dev type unknown (rw,bind) none on /dev type tmpfs (rw,size=5M,mode=0755) The fact that the big part of the message is repeated twice makes it look even more like a bug. The 2.8.7-8 changelog reads "sensors-detect: automatically adds line to /etc/modules if the user wants to (closes: bug#266227)" Does that mean there should be a debconf question about that? I sure didn't see one. dpkg-reconfigure lm-sensors brings nothing for me. -- System Information: Debian Release: 3.1 APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (500, 'testing') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.8-2-k7 Locale: LANG=fr_CA, LC_CTYPE=fr_CA (charmap=ISO-8859-1) Versions of packages lm-sensors depends on: ii debconf [debconf-2.0] 1.4.45 Debian configuration management sy ii libc6 2.3.2.ds1-20 GNU C Library: Shared libraries an ii libsensors3 1:2.9.0-12 library to read temperature/voltag ii makedev 2.3.1-75 Creates device files in /dev ii perl 5.8.4-5 Larry Wall's Practical Extraction ii sed 4.1.2-8 The GNU sed stream editor ii sysvinit 2.86-5 System-V like init ii ucf 1.13 Update Configuration File: preserv -- debconf information: lm-sensors/negatives: -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
